McCovey, Cepeda provide key hits in Giants victory

A two-run single by Willie McCovey, followed by a two-run double by Orlando Cepeda, were the perfect answer to back to back homers by the Dodgers as San Francisco took both games in San Francisco before the Cup returns to L.A. Willie Mays chipped in with 2 more hits and a stolen base as he continues to torment Dodger pitching.

Fairly powers Dodgers to victory

Ron Fairly had a big day at the plate with a 2-run double and a solo home run, his second of the Cup. Don Drysdale once again out-dueled Juan Marichal with his second complete game, striking out 8. HIs only blemish was allowing a two-run blast to Orlando Cepeda, who's now tied with Fairly for the Cup lead with two. Marichal proved to be his own undoing, committing two errors in the 3rd that allowed the Dodgers to plate two runs. Cepeda's homer tied the game a half inning later, but 3 straight singles in the 5th gave L.A. a lead they would not relinquish.

Walk-off!

Tommy Davis' two-out single scored Maury Wills from second in the bottom of the ninth as the Dodgers tied up the Durocher Cup at 3 games a piece. Wills led off the ninth with his 3rd single of the game and promptly stole second. Jim Gilliam and Willie Davis failed to advance him against Giants reliever Stu Miller, but Tommy Davis was up to the task with a clean single to center.

Pinch-hit magic for the Duke

Billy Pierce made a mistake and Duke Snider made him pay. Snider blasted a pinch-hit, two run homer in the top of the ninth as the Dodgers moved within a game of the Cup with a 6-4 victory. Sandy Koufax picked up the win with 8 solid innings of work which included 12 strikeouts. It also included back-to-back home runs by Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda which tied the game at 4 in the 6th, setting up the Duke of Flatbush's heroics in the ninth.
